Upgrade to php 5.0.4 - uh oh! (11 posts)

I wanted to install a plug-in and the minimum requirements = php 5. So i went from v4.3.4 to 5.0.4 and my two sites on this server are misbehaving. It seems everything I try to do, like delete a comment or even enter my blog I get a menu that opens up or downloads index.php, etc. to my desktop.

There's probably an really obscure setting or button to restart apache. (or stop it and then start it). Im not cpanel encumbered so I can't say where it is. If your flipping php versions up or down or around, you need to usually almost always restart Apache so it picks up which version of php you switched to and what php config setting you modified.

Do a quick web search for phpinfo.php and create/copy that to your root directory and run it http://mysite.example.com/phpinfo.php. Invaluable information when playing with php configuration.

my isp has restarted apache. i can access one site now but one site on firefox (i am on a mac) i still get the pop-up php menu described above. and with both sites on all browsers when updating permalinks i get the blurb to update htaccess.com = i will do due diligence after breakfast to see what htaccess.com means. i will also do the same with the link you provided above. thank you.
